AFTER 90: Silent gesture

COLORADO VS. TORONTO
DICK'S SPORTING GOODS PARK
　
After the Voyaguers Cup Semi-Final 1st Leg, Montreal supporters' groups were tremendously unhappy with their club's lack of showing in a 2-0 loss to Toronto. To "voice" what they saw as a lack of passion from their club's leadership in regards to the tournament, they sat in silence during Impact's following fixture to Chicago Fire. God knows how they would have reacted to Toronto FC's pathetic performance in the 2nd Leg.

Now we don't pretend that we have similar influence over our local club, nor will this gesture go noticed by many but tonight we will offer a post-match performance befitting what TFC offered us last Wednesday. We are still watching tonight, we still hope they win and will return to regularly scheduled "After 90's" in the future. In the end we just didn't quite recover from a result that seemed to devastate the support more than the club itself.

THE YORKIES' TFC MAN OF THE MATCH:
Those who watched Wednesday, still tuned in tonight and will do so again.
　
THE BATH:
As we said above, we want nothing but good for this club. We aren't trying to show how "ultra" we are or anything self aggrandizing. This was an expression of exhaustion - a hangover from a beat down that wasn't out of our system in time to crack wise about RapidsMan etc. The inevitable loss at the death was just the cherry on top.

Like a good chunk of you out there who felt the same, and perhaps still do, this post was just what TFC offered our loyalty three nights ago: not bothering to show up. We enjoyed doing this tonight as much as you enjoyed reading it... not much. So our message to TFC is no more nights off like Wednesday - your support rarely take them. Match the unwavering support and forgiveness you've had for six years with effort on the pitch and good things may happen.

Here's to better for club and supporters alike. Our support doesn't waver - we just owed TFC a night off.
